Sara DaSilva collected 12 points and 8 rebounds for the Lions, who used a fullcourt press to climb out of a 29-20 halftime hole. Tricia Blumeris went 6-for-6 from the free throw line down the stretch en route to 11 points.

Despite yet another triple-double by Lowell's Lexi Schechter (21 points, 17 rebounds, 10 blocks) and nearly seeing a 12-point second-half lead evaporate, the Middies hung on to the win.

Kaylee Kacavas led the Middies with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals.

Ashley Leboeuf had 8 points and 5 rebounds, and Jasmine Pream had 8 points and 4 steals. Julia Samborn had just 2 points, but also had 13 rebounds, seven of which came in the fourth quarter that helped Dracut preserve their lead.

The Colonials held a 13-point lead with 3:30 left, but the Buccaneers caught fire and cut into the lead until sophomores Tyler Keohan and Sammy Ford went a combined 4-for-4 down the stretch to ice the game.

Senior forward Becca Shamah led the Colonials with 18 points and 11 rebounds.

A-B improved to 11-3 on the season.
